Robert V. Conte's comments about Pauls solo album from the liner notes of the CD

In September 1978, KISS completed one of the most ambitious projects in music history. Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss simultaneously released theie own solo albums worldwide, establishing a new record of tremendous success. In the United States, 1.25 million copies of each record shipped ro music stores backed by the largest publicity campaign ever held for a rock n roll band at that time. Like the Beatles , KISS fans loved each members distinct personallity equally. Having an album dedicated to one memberd unique musicianship couldn't fail to succeed in a woeld dominated by the KISS Army!

With a variety of newly qritten material, Paul Stanley his solo album in New York and Los Angeles with guitarist Bob Kulick, drummer Carmine Appice, Bassit Eric Nelson and the other session musicians. Within weeks Stanley created an album truly representing the core of his spirit. "Tonight You Belong To Me," "Ain't Quite Right," and "Hold Me, Touch Me" illustrate Stanley's melodic style stemming from his heart and soul. Heavey tracks like "Move On," "Wouldn't You Like To Know Me?," and "Love In Chains" characterize Stanley's persona as to the ultimate lover--the supreme rock star with absolute control over his audience

Stanley recorded his solo record with every intention of creating an original statement apart from kiss. Ironically, fans believed that Paul Stanley was the most "KISS-like" of the four solo albums.. This created the false impression that Stanley was the sole driving force behind KISS when, in reality, this was the most musically unified. It's theme was clear: Stanley wanted KISS fans to know him on a more intimate level and he achieved this goal by taking them through a passionate excursioninto his musical domain. In the essence, Paul Stanley is the most honest of the solo albums and reaffirms Stanley's commitment to KISS and its fans
